Chapter 6: First Confrontation
"Guys, this is the Royal City of Nalan. In two months, it will be the annual Tulip Festival, which is also the most beautiful moment for the tulips to bloom." Prince Abner rode a tall horse in the front, and Lindt Delis followed Abner on both sides. Killing Wei sat in the carriage and played with the little flower snake.
"It's very prosperous! It is a good place to live in seclusion. It must be an inaccurate choice to live in seclusion in the Duchy of Nalan in the future. Lin Tian looked at Nalan Wangcheng and said.
"Hehe, that's right. Many heroes have settled in the Principality of Nalan, such as the ancestors of the Asura family and the Rudolf family who were tired of that kind of fighting for hegemony on the mainland. Come to the Duchy of Nalan to live in seclusion. Abner said proudly, and Lin Tian nodded, which was also the reason why he came to the Duchy of Nalan.
There are a lot of people in the street. There are businessmen, mercenaries, and farmers selling some agricultural and sideline products. It is a very prosperous scene. However, from time to time, a burst of troops passed by, which looked a little serious. Everyone thought something big had happened, and the warning twice a day has now increased to five times. And from time to time, he still investigates people everywhere, making people panic.
"I heard that Prince Ebb's soldiers are stationed outside the royal city. I don't know what to do?" The conversation between the two mercenaries made Lin Tian interested and listened carefully to their insipid words.
"You don't know yet. I heard that the old king of Nalan is seriously ill. Prince Abd was assigned to the border when he failed to fight for the throne, and now he is just back to revenge. It seems that the Duchy of Nalan will not calm down?" The old mercenary drank the spirits in the glass and sighed. Said.
"Yes, but doesn't Princess Nalanyue also have the right to inherit? It's not that easy for Prince Abd to be king, is it? The young mercenary asked
"Although Princess Nalanyue is the first heir, she doesn't have much military power. I'm afraid I can't compete with Prince Abd, and I heard that Prince Abd has sent troops to take over the royal city. But I also heard that Prince Abner is coming back. I'm afraid that something big will happen to this flower country. Let's get out of here quickly to avoid trouble." The two sighed, left a few silver coins and got up and left. Lin Tian shook his head and said that he was really unlucky. As soon as he came to the Principality of Nalan, he encountered a coup and took a look at Abner, who frowned.
"I hope we won't get involved here. It will be endless trouble." Lin Tian whispered to Delis beside him, and Delis shook his head, "It's hard to say. Let's leave when Abner is escorted to the royal city!" Lin Tian nodded that these things had nothing to do with them. There is no need to get involved.
Aibner looks serious, and the situation is already very urgent. It's still half a day away from Wangcheng, but it feels very slow to walk. Abner kept thinking about feasible methods, but was overthrown by himself one by one. Prince Abner only has 50,000 troops of his own, and he is no match for Abd. Moreover, this weak duchy can't afford to experience a civil war, so it has to think about a peaceful solution.
Aibner looked at Lin Tian and others and said that it might be feasible to ask them to help. They have seen the strength of Lin Tian and others, but the light words of Lin Tian and others can be heard clearly. Lin Tian wanted to be out of his own affairs, and there was nothing he could do. Is it really possible to take the throne on the Abde bench? Sigh, let's go back to Wangcheng and talk about it!"
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The establishment of Nalan Wangcheng is not long, and it is only a few decades. The mainland used to be four empires, but later one empire was destroyed by the three empires. Several great nobles of the empire split into several duchins, and the Duchy of Nalan was one of them. The power of the Duchy of Nalan is the weakest, so it exists as a neutral country. Therefore, it has not been disturbed by the war and has developed peacefully.
Lin Tian looked at the new city in front of him, which was really a beautiful place. Even the imperial city of the Light Empire has been left by many traces of war, although it has been repaired well. But you can still see the traces of repair, but there is no trace here. Standing under the wall, Prince Abner got out of the carriage.
"Open the door, I'm Prince Abner." Abner shouted at the officers on the wall.
"Prince Abner, there is an order in the country. No one is allowed to enter the capital, and the city will be closed for two months. Your Highness, please come back!" The officer showed his head and shouted at Abner. Hearing this, Abner is so angry! He almost blew up his lungs, and his own prince couldn't enter the royal city. That's really unreasonable.
"Damn, Abd, come out. I know where you are." Abner roared loudly and carried his fighting spirit. The sound was like Hong Tong, which scared Lin Tian. He thought that the old man hid so deeply that he didn't find it at all. Delis and Sivey also leaned over and looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't see it either, and they were alerting Abner in their hearts.
"Hahaha, Abner. Not bad, you have advanced to a nine-level swordsman. But even so, what can you change alone? You are sure to lose." An arrogant voice came out, and Lin Tian looked up. I saw a middle-aged man come out, wearing silver-white armor. Behind him was a group of officers, thinking that this was Prince Abd.
"What? Abner, you brought so many people here. I thought you would bring your legion, so that I could just eliminate the forces that could threaten me in one fell swoop. Abd looked at Lin Tian and others under the wall and laughed.
"Well, how's Nalanyue? If anything happens to her, I will burn with you. Abner shouted loudly, and the strong men detered him. The small-scale officer behind Albde was directly scared to the ground, and Albde scolded Feiwu. He asked someone to lift down the fainted officer, "Is the jade burning? Do you have this strength?"
"You," Abner snorted and said nothing more. However, he did not have the strength to fight with Abde. Although he was a nine-level swordsman. However, Abde has thousands of troops and horses, and his fists are hard to beat four. Even a strong man on the holy level can't fight against thousands of troops and horses, not to mention his own swordsman. Let's go back." Abner got on his horse and asked Lin Tian and the others to walk out of the city. Lin Tian looked at all this and smiled and said nothing. Abner left the royal city and stopped 20 miles away from the royal city.
Lin Tian looked up and saw a high mountain in front of him. The mountains are very large and there are many strange cliffs. It's not easy to defend or attack, and it's not bad to use it to escape and fight guerrilla down. Is Abner going to fight guerrillas here? Lin Tian smiled. That's the theory that Lao Mao would think of. It is ridiculed to fight guerrillas here.
"Your Highness, now the royal city has arrived. Our escort mission has been completed, so let's leave. Delis knew that Lin Tian didn't want to intervene, so she simply said directly. It's completely reasonable for others to leave, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
"This? Leader Delis, can't I give you your commission? Well, why don't you follow me to my territory? Of course, mercenaries are counted separately. Hearing that Delis and the others were leaving, Abner was a little anxious. Standing up and holding Delis' hand, Delis frowned. Abner realized that he was rude and quickly let go of his hand. Say it eagerly.
"Hmm?" Delis was a little unhappy. "Let's discuss it." He pulled Lin Tian and Xiwei to one side.
"Lin Tian, what do you think? Sivey, don't play with the flower snake. Looking at Sivey playing with the flower snake, he patted Sivey's little head. Say for.
"Sister Delis, it's called a kitten. It's not called a snake. Ha ha, don't you think so!" Xiwei pouted his cute little mouth to justify the flower snake, and Lin Tian gave Xiwei a white look. This is not easy to do. It's definitely not good to escort this old man to the Duchy of Nalan with such a great strength that we can't get gold coins now. I'm afraid it's not easy to explain after going with him. What a trouble!" Lin Tian sighed, although they were not short of this gold coin. But it's uncomfortable to think that the labor is not rewarded.
"Let's do this!" Delis thought for a moment, "I'll test Abner if he can honestly tell us the situation. We will escort him to the territory. If he hides anything, we will give up the gold coins and leave. Lin Tian nodded in agreement, and now he has to do so. Looking at the white clouds in the sky, "What a trouble." I spit and went to Xiwei to play with the flower snake.
Prince Abner's territory is neither large nor small, which is equivalent to the appearance of a city. There is a wasteland where 50,000 guard corps are stationed. As a result of Delis and Abner's indifferent words, Lin Tian and others will escort Abner to the West Plains territory. He encountered three chases along the way, but they were repulsed by Lin Tian and others with light guns. It's just that the last one is very powerful, and it's actually the ninth-level top. As a fast-advanced holy man, Abner fought with him for hundreds of rounds and was finally defeated. Later, Delis only injured him and escaped, but could not kill him.
"That man is full of darkness and should be a dark practitioner. It's a pity that he didn't be injured. Abner said worriedly, "This may be Abde's biggest trump card, and now he has lost. Abd is likely to send troops to attack Xiyuan. You should rush back to Xiyuan immediately to inform the army to be on full alert. Abner asked his escort to leave overnight, and he set out with Lin Tian and others the next day.
The next evening, Lin Tian and his party finally arrived safely in the Xiyuan territory. In the evening, Abner held a banquet to thank Lin Tian and the others. Of course, they did not refuse. After being full of wine and food, Abner crossed the gold coins that should have been paid to Delis' card. Chief Delis, thank you for escorting me back to Xiyuan. This is the commission you deserve."
"Thank you, you should do your best with people's money. There is nothing hard," Delis generously put the gold card in her arms and looked at Lin Tianzheng on the table teasing the flower snake. Sivi said indecently about the food on the table. Delis smiled and said, "Sivi, Lin Tian, we should go." Ah, what? I'm not full yet." Sivey is still putting something in his mouth. This mortal thing is really delicious.
"Ah, Chief Delis. I don't know if I can ask you to help me again. I will pay double the commission this time. No, three times." Seeing that Delis was not moved at all, he immediately changed his mind. Lin Tian became interested: "Let's talk about what the task is first!" This is a step for Abner.
"In this situation, Abd takes the lead. There is no possibility that I want to pull back, but my niece Nalanyue may fall into Abde's hands. I hope you can save him. After the task is completed, I will send 50,000 gold coins. What do you think? If it's not enough, we can discuss it again.
